Film Details
Playing in THE ORIGINAL.
Following the film's premiere at the BFI London Film Festival: Based on the novel of the same name, the latest feature from director Garth Davis stars Mescal and Ronan as Junior and Henrietta, a husband and wife who live about 40 years in the future on a secluded farm. The couple is offered an unexpected proposition by a stranger named Terrance (Aaron Pierre), who proposes that Junior go to space for several years to assist in the piloting of a program that helps transition humanity away from living on the deteriorating Earth.
Davis’ (Lion, Mary Magdalene) skill at rendering a world is evident in this impressive adaptation of Iain Reid’s 2018 novel. But it is the dynamic between Ronan and Mescal that charges the atmosphere of this tense and intelligent, one-day-in-the-future thriller.
